I was born an original sinner 
I was born from original sin 
And if I had a dollar bill 
For all the things I've done 
There'd be a mountain of money 
Piled up to my chin 
My mother told me good 
My mother told me strong 
She said be true to yourself 
And you can't go wrong 
But there's just one thing 
That you must understand 
You can fool with your brother 
But don't mess with a missionary man 
Don't mess with a missionary man 
Don't mess with a missionary man 
Well the missionary man 
He's got God in his side 
He's got the saints and apostles 
Backin' up from behind 
Black eyed looks from those Bible books 
He's a man with a mission 
Got a serious mind 
There was a woman in the jungle 
And a monkey on a tree 
The missionary man he was followin' me 
He said stop what you're doing 
Get down upon your knees 
I've a message for you that you better believe 
Don't mess with a missionary man 
I was born an original sinner 
I was born from original sin 
And if I had a dollar bill 
For all the things I've done 
There'd be a mountain of money 
Piled up to my chin 
Don't mess with a missionary man
